Innovative Simulation Training Enhances Nursing Education
November 30, 2025 - 03:15
The School of Nursing at UNC-Chapel Hill, in collaboration with UNC Medical Center and UNC Health Rex, is pioneering a unique approach to nursing education by incorporating actors and simulation training. This innovative method aims to equip nursing students and healthcare staff with the skills necessary to effectively address and manage workplace violence.
Through realistic role-playing scenarios, participants can engage in immersive experiences that reflect the challenges they may face in real-life situations. This hands-on training not only helps students develop critical thinking and communication skills but also fosters a deeper understanding of the emotional and psychological aspects of patient care.
The initiative underscores the importance of preparing future healthcare professionals for the complexities of their roles, particularly in high-stress environments. By utilizing theater and simulation, the program seeks to create a safer and more supportive atmosphere for both healthcare workers and patients, ultimately enhancing the overall quality of care in the healthcare system.
